Herbal formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine

This traditional herbal formula is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is traditionally associated with releasing the exterior, dispersing wind, and simultaneously clearing heat from both the exterior and interior of the body.

In TCM terminology, it is used in patterns described as a combination of external wind-heat and internal heat accumulation, which may traditionally be associated with manifestations such as inflammatory conditions, fever, skin disorders, or internal overheating.

The formula contains a complex combination of herbs traditionally described as addressing pathology simultaneously at the surface and within the body.

Specific health effects cannot be claimed according to European Union legislation.

Characteristics according to TCM

This formula is primarily associated with:

• releasing the exterior and dispersing wind
• clearing both external and internal heat
• promoting elimination of heat through urination and stool
• harmonizing the relationship between exterior and interior

Traditional composition and formula principles

The formula is composed as a balanced prescription that both releases the exterior and drains heat:

• Fang Feng 防风 disperses wind and releases the exterior
• Da Huang 大黄 drains heat through the bowels
• Jing Jie 荆芥 and Bo He 薄荷 support exterior release
• Zhi Zi 栀子 drains heat via urination
• Lian Qiao 连翘, Huang Qin 黄芩, Jie Geng 桔梗 clear heat in the Lung and Stomach
• Dang Gui 当归, Bai Shao 白芍, Chuan Xiong 川芎 harmonize and move Blood
• Bai Zhu 白术 supports the Spleen
• Gan Cao 甘草 harmonizes the formula
• Sheng Jiang 生姜 supports the middle burner

This combination reflects the classical principle of “releasing the exterior while clearing the interior.”

In modern formulations, some ingredients may be adapted in accordance with EU legislation.
